Selenium Testing Framework Regulatory Frameworks & Compliance 2

Question 1

Which WCAG success criterion requires that all non-text content has a text alternative, and how can Selenium verify this?

Accepted Answer

WCAG 1.1.1 — check alt attributes on img elements via getAttribute('alt')

Answer

WCAG 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) mandates alt text on images, which Selenium can verify by retrieving the alt attribute using getAttribute('alt').

Question 2

Under HIPAA's Security Rule, when automating tests against a healthcare application, which Selenium practice is non-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Logging PHI-containing response data to a shared test report

Answer

Logging Protected Health Information (PHI) to shared test reports violates HIPAA's Security Rule, which requires PHI to be safeguarded and access-controlled.

Question 3

A Selenium test suite must validate PCI DSS compliance. Which assertion confirms a payment page correctly masks a credit card PAN?

Accepted Answer

Verify the displayed value matches regex \*{12}\d{4}

Answer

PCI DSS requires masking all digits except the last four, so asserting the displayed value matches the pattern of 12 asterisks followed by 4 digits validates proper masking.

Question 4

When Selenium tests must comply with GDPR's right to erasure, which automated test scenario is most relevant?

Accepted Answer

Submit a deletion request and verify the user account no longer appears in search results

Answer

GDPR's Article 17 (right to erasure) is validated by testing that a deletion request results in the user's data being removed from all accessible views.

Question 5

Which Selenium WebDriver command is most appropriate when testing Section 508 compliance for keyboard-only navigation?

Accepted Answer

sendKeys(Keys.TAB) to cycle through focusable elements

Answer

Section 508 requires full keyboard operability, so using TAB key navigation via sendKeys(Keys.TAB) accurately simulates how keyboard-only users traverse the page.
